The year of the Linux desktop came for me in the early '00s. Since then, I find that there has been some improvements here and there but an overall general decline in usability and quality for desktop systems with GUIs. To each their o

My memory is vague but I seem to recall hearing of NK missiles heading in Japan's direction a number of times in recent years. Is my memory correct? Does NK just get free reign to fire missiles towards other countries?

Enabling this did weird things to web sites. But it didn't seem to help. Before I enabled it, according to https://amiunique.org I was unique among the 1646592 fingerprints in their entire dataset. After enabling it, I was

I've noticed some stores are scanning ID cards now. I have no idea what happens with the data they get from the scan.

It depends. Terrain, vehicle, tires, and driver all play a role. Lockers and 4wd aren't always necessary to be effective but they can usually help. It might surprise you what can be done with a sedan.

I think all the Schwan's trucks are, but not all the UPS trucks. The propane powered UPS trucks say propane on the side somewhere.

Note that the Last Week Tonight video is mostly about mobile home parks. The mobile home parks can be pretty bad (though every now and then there's a good one). From what I understand, most people in living in mobile homes are not in m

It might not be significantly cheaper but it's much faster to park a mobile home on a lot than it is to build a house.

pkgs.org doesn't seem to let you inspect the contents of the files in the packages (unless I missed it). I guess that's what the APT Browse thing does but it doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment.

Not sure if they still make them, but some many years ago I tried out some Slime tubes that had the stuff built into the tube somehow. Not only did it not work to seal punctures, it was impossible to patch.
